Ripple-Wire Braking Resistor

The RXG20 ripple-resistor family uses a resistance element on a ceramic tube in an open construction. Its datasheet covers 50 W–15 kW rows with individual resistance ranges and mounting dimensions. The open IP00 construction calls for a separate enclosure and thermal-protection assessment.

Document revision and selection notes

Important note 1

The short-overload test uses 10× rated power or the maximum-working-voltage constraint, whichever is more restrictive, for 5 s; resistance change is ≤±(2%R+0.05 Ω). This test is not a repetitive-braking duty rating.
PDF p. 2

Page 2 includes temperature and duty derating curves; the duty graph uses a maximum 120 s cycle

Page 2 includes temperature and duty derating curves; the duty graph uses a maximum 120 s cycle. A graph’s temperature axis must not be presented as the permitted ambient operating range.
PDF p. 2

Important note 3

The general 1–10000 Ω range is not available at every power: table minima become 5 Ω from 1000 W, and maxima become 1000 Ω at 3500 W and above.

Information needed for selection

Providing the following information helps our technical team select the correct product and accessories.

  • What are the drive/chopper minimum resistance, braking energy, pulse duration, repetition interval and ambient temperature?
  • How will cabinet cooling, hot-surface protection, fire safety and cable temperature rating be addressed? This datasheet gives no numerical clearance.

Let us verify your application

For Ripple-Wire Braking Resistor selection, share motor, supply, control, environment and duty-cycle data with our engineering team.
